A scription thereof', reference being had to the accompanying drawings,and to the letters of reference marked thereon, making a part of thisspecification.

The nature' of my invention consists in the construction and arrangementof a bedstead and lounge, as will be hereinafter fully set forth. l

In order to enable others skilled in the art 'to which my inventionappertains, to make and use the same, I will now proceed to describe itsconstruction and operation, referring to the annexed drawings, in'which-Figure 1 is an end view, showing my invent-ion in the position for alounge;

Figure 2 is an end ,viewrshowing its position as a bed; and

Figure 3 is a side view of the doublel joint in the mattress-frame.

A represents the frame of my bedstead and lounge,

` which frame may he made in any manner desired, so

as to have end pieces, and no high sides. v

B represents the mattress-frame, which, at each end, in the centre, isprovided with a double joint, C, as seen in fig. 3.

The mattress-frame B is hinged to the bedstead A by means of a. metalplate, D, at each end, said plates being, at one end, pivoted to themattressfframe, and

at the other to the bedstead-frame.

The plates D D, with the bedstead and mattressframes, are so arranged,that when the mattress-frame is turned back, as shown in fig. l, itsfront side will be about even with the/front side of the bedstead-fiame,and the rear half of the mattress-frame can be turned up, so as to fornithe back of the lounge, the double joint C allowing the mattress to bebent iu proper shape for the same.

\Vhen the mattress-frame is turned forward, asv

shown in iig. 2, to form a hed, the said frame lextends equally on bothfront and rear sides of the bedsteadframe, so as to be evenlyandcompletely supported by the bedstead-frame.
